  • {{your_metrics}} — your website's performance data (e.g., page load time, bounce rate, conversion rate, traffic sources).
  • {{focus_areas}} — specific aspects to compare (e.g., technical performance, traffic sources, keyword rankings).
  • {{objective}} — the strategic goal of the analysis (e.g., improve SEO, increase traffic).

Instructions

  1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Analyze the provided data for each competitor and your own website across the specified focus areas.
  3. Create a comparative summary, highlighting where competitors outperform you and where you have an advantage.
  4. Identify the top traffic sources and keywords for competitors, and compare them with your own.
  5. Provide actionable recommendations to close performance gaps and leverage opportunities.
  6. Prioritize recommendations based on potential impact and effort required.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Comparative Analysis, Traffic Source Insights, Keyword Opportunities, and Strategic Recommendations. Use tables for comparisons. Keep the tone strategic and actionable.
